With a win or a Detroit loss, the Guardians will capture the American League Central title, completing the largest comeback from a division deficit in MLB history. If the Tigers win and Cleveland loses, the Guardians will still advance as the final AL wild-card team.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland has surged since the All-Star break, going an MLB-best 41-25 to erase what once looked like an insurmountable gap. The Guardians also became just the fourth team ever to reach the postseason in the same year they endured a 10-game losing streak.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve done it while navigating major setbacks. The club lost relievers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz to gambling investigations and traded away ace Shane Bieber at the deadline. Yet behind perennial MVP candidate Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez, Gold Glove outfielder Steven Kwan and second-year manager Stephen Vogt, Cleveland has found a way.<\/p>\n<p>Vogt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/guardians\/2025\/09\/what-stephen-vogt-said-after-the-guardians-clinched-a-playoff-berth-transcript.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:credited;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">credited<\/a> the team\u2019s resiliency after Saturday\u2019s clincher. \u201cI am just so proud of these guys. I know we\u2019re not done, we\u2019re not satisfied, but just to stop and think about where we came from to get here \u2014 there\u2019s no words,\u201d Vogt said. \u201cIt\u2019s a different guy every night. They support each other, they love each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Guardians might not boast the flashiest roster, but few clubs are hotter entering October, making them one of the most dangerous teams in the postseason field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From 10-game losing streak to October: Guardians make history originally appeared on The Sporting News The Cleveland Guardians&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":347705,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[18241,5,51,53,406,865,2566,19,4,7617,1271,860,2081],"class_list":{"0":"post-347704","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-american-league-central","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-cleveland-guardians","11":"tag-detroit-tigers","12":"tag-emmanuel-clase","13":"tag-jose-ramirez","14":"tag-luis-ortiz","15":"tag-major-league-baseball","16":"tag-mlb","17":"tag-postseason-berth","18":"tag-shane-bieber","19":"tag-stephen-vogt","20":"tag-steven-kwan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115281997681962158","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/347705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
